Tampons Sent me to the Hospital
For what felt like forever, my periods were incredibly painful and just awful. I tried every product out there—tampons, pads, cups, and disks hoping something would give me some relief. I even switched birth control methods, thinking that might help regulate things, but nothing seemed to make a dif

A man embraces a woman from behind on a couch, with the woman leaning into him, eyes closed. The man wears glasses and a tank top, while the woman is in a pleated outfit. A teddy bear sticker is on the man's arm. The title 'His Streets, Not Mine' is overlaid on the image.

An open Bible page with handwritten notes and highlights, focusing on the Book of Esther. Key phrases include "Studying in Esther last night," "if I perish, I perish!" from Esther 4:15-16, and a sticker quoting "be strong and courageous Joshua 1:9."

Sent to Prison
On the drive home from the federal courthouse the day I was sentenced I looked out the window and cried. I cried for the years I would lose. I cried for the years I had already lost, and I cried because I didn’t know who I was anymore. I reflected on what the judge had said. How could I have b

I honestly have no clue at this point which challenge this is from. My best guess would have to be the January challenge since the last item I received was from the Christmas challenge. I wish there was a bit of a better system to track the prizes you have won. I know I’m still missing a few prizes
